Tabbed entry; Showing flat vs sharp

• Sep 25, 2015 - 14:55

Hi,

When I enter a new note using the Tab (ie. fret 4, string 3 on the bass) it shows in the linked staff as a C#. Do you know if there is a way to get the notes to default to a b (flat; Db in this case) instead?? I just prefer to see it written that way.

The correct spelling depends on context - key signature, what the harmony is, whether the line is ascending or descending, etc. It's not musically correct to just always spell things with flats or sharps. But MuseScore's algorithm for guessing the best spelling is not that sophisticated, and there will definitely be times when you might need to override it. Simply select the note and press "J".
